Frank Hoogerbeets who is a Dutch researcher had predicted earthquakes in Turkey, Syria on Twitter
In a tweet on the 3rd of February, Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets predicted that an earthquake of greater than 7.5-magnitude might strike Turkey. His prediction came true three days later, on Monday when around 4 temblors killed over 1,500 people in Turkey and Syria.

Who is Frank Hoogerbeets?
Yes, there is much resistance within the scientific community regarding the influence of the planets and the Moon. But there's no extended research that 'disproves' it. It's merely an assumption. In fact, a scientific paper in Nature suggests otherwise. pic.twitter.com/GfV1Hoa0E5

Sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 #earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon). #deprem pic.twitter.com/6CcSnjJmCV

Frank Hoogerbeets works at Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS). SSGEOS is an institute of research that helps in monitoring the geometry of the celestial bodies in relation to seismic activity.
Hoogerbeets predicted that a 7.5 magnitude earthquake would be occurring in the region of South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon in February of 2023. His predictions did indeed come true and have shocked the world.
In addition, a few Twitter users have labeled him as a pseudo-scientist and have questioned his earlier predictions. Hoogerbeets retweeted a post by his research agency SSGEOS shortly after a once-in-a-century earthquake, predicting the possibility of a new big temblor. A second earthquake measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale struck Turkey about three hours after the tweet.
Sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 #earthquake in the region again (South-Central of Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon). #deprem,” tweeted on 23rd of February, 2023.
“My heart goes out to each and everyone affected by the major earthquake which took place in Central Turkey. As I have stated earlier, sooner or later this would happen in this region, as same to years 115 and 526. These earthquakes always are preceded by critical planetary geometry, as we had on the 4-5 Feb,” Hoogerbeets expressed dismay when his prediction came true.
He then retweeted an SSGEOS post that was predicting another large earthquake just hours before the earlier one with a 7.6 magnitude quake struck southern Turkey.
The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.8 occurred while all people were sleeping and it was the strongest to strike the area in at least a century. It felt as far away as Cairo and Cyprus. According to preliminary data from European Mediterranean Seismological Centre, the second significant earthquake, measuring around 7.8-magnitude and occurring at a depth of 1.2 miles, was located 42 miles northeast of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey (EMSC).
